Is a Palomino Trout a cross between a Rainbow Trout and a Golden Trout?

Yes, a Palomino Trout is essentially a color variant of the Rainbow Trout, often produced through selective breeding. It is not a hybrid between a Rainbow Trout and a Golden Trout, but rather a Rainbow Trout that exhibits a distinctive golden-yellow coloration. This unique coloring results from a genetic mutation rather than a crossbreeding event.
